I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 599: Why not look for your own problems after losing the team battle?
Even in the vast ocean sealed off by a giant tornado, it is not impossible for anyone to cross.

Three figures were speeding across the sea, passing through raging winds and towering waves with ease; as if fragile bubbles had no effect on them whatsoever.

"That Goenitz guy, he didn't even call us before he started the operation."

Leading the group was a burly man with short white hair, dressed in a heavy metal style, striding briskly, his open shirt revealing his perfect chest and abdominal muscles.

It is none other than Yashiro Nanakase, the guitarist of the famous demiplane band 'Hell Band'!
And another identity: one of the Eight Heroes and Four Heavenly Kings.

Nicknamed 'Dry Earth'.

"Hmm, maybe he thinks he's good enough?"

A beautiful woman, her figure crackling with lightning, spoke up as she sped past. She was a sexy, mature woman with a hot body, wearing a tight-fitting short skirt; her hair covered her eyes, and her face, half-hidden, left much to the imagination.

It was Shermie, the keyboardist/backing vocalist of the band Hell.

Of course, she is also one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Eight Heroes.

Nicknamed 'Wild Thunder'.

"Of course,"

The last person, a teenager wearing a hip-hop style hoodie, had a sunny smile on his face.

"Uncle Goenitz's strength is enough to sweep away everything."

The boy's name is Chris. He is the drummer and lead singer of the band 'Hell Band', and naturally one of the Eight Heroes. His nickname is 'Flame of Divine Punishment'.

"Humph,"

Yashiro simply snorted at his companions' words.

The three of them have already awakened and are the 'Four Heavenly Kings' of the Eight Heroes.

However, there are differences among the Four Heavenly Kings: even if the three of them attacked together, they might not be able to defeat Goenitz: that guy is so strong it's almost unbelievable—yes, even the other members of the 'Eight Heroes' think so.

"I hope so."

Yashiro, who was speeding along, remained noncommittal.
"It concerns the resurrection of 'God,' so the safest approach would have been to inform us first."

How can they resurrect their 'god' serpent?

It's very simple: slaughter!
And fear!

A thousand years ago, the universe shattered, and the blood of the gods fell upon this world, transforming into a 'great serpent' that guards the world.

But those humans proliferated everywhere, constantly destroying and expanding wildly.

They've even started trying to study 'world barriers'!
It's totally treasonous!
“We are the ones who are ‘just’.”

After awakening, 'reviving Orochi' became the most important thing in the minds of the three.

But that doesn’t mean their perception was distorted. So when Yashiro was running, he spoke to his companions, or rather, he was trying to convince himself.

Only God can sustain the existence of this 'world'.

"Don't worry, we were prepared for this."

Instead, it was the long-haired beauty and smiling boy who comforted Yashiro.

"It is only natural to give one's life for God."

哎、

In the end, it was Yashiro who couldn't let go, hmm?

The three sped off, suddenly halting as the massive, towering tornado over the sea ahead began to slowly dissipate. This meant—

"impossible!"

"How could Goenitz be dead?"

No, let alone death, they can hardly imagine even being defeated.

"go!"

With a powerful push of his foot, Yashiro shot out like a hypersonic missile, hurtling towards the center of the dissipating tornadoes!

a few minutes ago,

"Cough~~"

Amid the coughing, fresh blood trickled from the corner of the blue-robed priest's mouth.

Floating above the aircraft carrier ruins, Goenitz wiped his mouth with his thumb, the bright red blood on it making him lower his eyes.

God's messengers should be invincible.

But he got injured!
"They actually had such power hidden within them, the Three Divine Weapons family."

Because of the time stop, he was unaware of the existence of the 'Eight Wine Cups' technique, but he could guess that Iori Yagami had a hidden trick up his sleeve.

Kyo Kusanagi's punch truly shattered his 'invincible body'! Moreover, Goenitz could see that the punch had no limit—it was Kyo Kusanagi who had the limit.

"I lost."

Although he only took one punch, Goenitz, as proud as he was, disdained to make any excuses.

"But the power of Orochi will not disappear,"

After he finished speaking, the handsome middle-aged pastor looked up.

"The wind is picking up; it's about time."

The next second, the gale-force winds from the sky surged towards him! Kyo Kusanagi, still stiff from the aftereffects of his 'no-style' attack, alongside Iori Yagami with his hands mangled and bloodied, and Chizuru Kagura, whose injuries were the least severe, all watched in vain:
"God, Your faithful believers offer everything."

The endless gale howled in, but it was not for killing enemies.

call----

All the wind gathered, compressed, and condensed on Goenitz, who had released his defenses; instantly cutting him to the molecular level—no, leaving not even a trace! With a gust of wind, he vanished without a trace.

???

Oh no, could this be suicide?!

Everyone on the battlefield who looked up and saw all of this was dumbfounded, too shocked to express their feelings.

"Ok?"

Only Hongo Hime looked up, first lost in thought, then her brows relaxed.

"So that's how it is."

?

"This little sister,"

Kagura Chizuru, in her early twenties and the head of a large family, possessed a calm and composed demeanor; thus, calling Hongo Hina, who appeared to be a high school student, "little sister" was indeed appropriate.

Do you know why this member of the "Eight Heroes" committed suicide?

Yes, Goenitz was hit by two of the three divine techniques.

But to say that they have completely lost their fighting ability seems absurd.

We can't be so arrogant that we can't accept any failures, can we?

This is indeed one of the reasons; since Goenitz awakened his powers, he has been able to instantly defeat anyone he faces. Of course, another reason is:

"The resurrection ritual of the giant serpent has begun."

? !
Others might not notice, but as someone who once possessed the ability of 'Great Demon Transformation', Kina could sense that Goenitz's flesh, power, and spirit were floating everywhere in the sky above this battlefield. Given the right opportunity, these powers could be combined once again.

If it were the old Hina Hongo, she might even have been able to absorb this power.

But now she no longer cares about these 'external forces'; Hime's gaze fell on the panting Kyo Kusanagi and the blood-covered Iori Yagami.

As a martial arts master who has mastered the "First of Firsts" technique, she has already sensed the existence of the "Eight Wine Cups" and the principle behind the "No Style" move: time and space. No wonder she dares to call it the "Three Divine Weapons".

That's really sharp. Huh?
"Hmph hmph hmph hahahahaha!!!"

Iori Yagami, who was originally seriously injured, suddenly laughed wildly, and the wounds on his body began to heal as they writhed, which made Kyo Kusanagi and Chizuru Kagura's eyes narrow.

The fighters in this world mainly focus on physique and physical skills; their bodies are honed through countless trials, and their close-combat techniques are dazzling. However, this inevitably leads to a lack of diversity in their abilities and a slow recovery speed.

It's difficult to achieve the kind of limb regeneration ability possessed by the powerful demons of the 'Warring States Period'. "Is this... the power of Orochi going berserk?"

Chizuru Kagura's heart sank; she was already prepared for a major battle with her former 'teammates'.

however--

brush,

Turning around, Yagami Iori, in a frenzy, sped off, leaving afterimages as he charged toward the other side of the battlefield.

The person he targeted was none other than his blonde, intellectual secretary, Mai Zhuo!
?

As one of the Eight Heroes of the Orcs, whose speed is described as "beasts," Mature was not so easily defeated and dodged in a flash.

? !
The next instant, blood-stained fingers reached for her face.

127 Styles - Sunflower

So fast--

The blonde secretary, who was flying backward, lightly touched the ground with her feet, and her whole body suddenly drew a trajectory that repeatedly refracted, dodging the grab in mid-air.

Special move: Triangle jump

"Vision! Come help!!"

In just one exchange, Mai Zhuo realized that she was no match for him.

She is a speed-specialized member of the "Eight Orochi," but the now-mad Iori Yagami can catch up with her: since she doesn't have the advantage in speed, she can't beat Iori Yagami, a martial artist.

"coming--"

Throwing the mad dog-like Iori Kazuka away, the short-haired, agile secretary, who had been bitten a few times, suddenly squatted down, plunged her hands into the wrecked aircraft carrier deck, and with a powerful jerk, lifted it up.

This isn't a fighting technique; it's simply wrist strength!
Lift the floor
?

In a flash,

The fighters still on the battlefield suddenly saw their vision blur, and the dark clouds above their heads were replaced by the sea, as if the world had been turned upside down.

Do not,
It's not that the sky and the sea are reversed,

Instead, everyone's footing has been turned upside down!

The already battered aircraft carrier tumbled out of the sea; the massive ultimate weapon finally gave way, its hull snapped, its deck collapsed in pieces, some parts flew into the air, and others were pulled back down by gravity—

Metal structures shattered, fragments spun and shot out like a death storm of frenzied cutting;
The power line snapped, sparks flew, and it swung wildly in the air like Medusa's serpentine hair.

Those fighters and superhumans who were still on the battlefield only then realized what was happening; but they were already tumbling and swirling in the air along with the aircraft carrier, and had to focus their energy on maintaining their balance and fending off the flying and crashing metal fragments.

Chance,

In this complex scenario

Mature, with her 'Swift Escape' ability, is like a fish in water.

His figure darted through the swirling debris, instantly appearing behind Iori Yagami, who had lost his footing; he raised his hand to grab at his opponent, his ultimate move, 'Heavenly Glide,' poised to strike—

Snapped,

As I reached out, I suddenly felt a tightness in my wrist!
Without turning around, Iori Yagami grabbed her wrist, then turned his head, his crimson pupils meeting Mature's eyes.

bad
After this guy goes berserk, he is essentially similar to the "Eight Heroes of the Mighty Warriors," and is extremely sensitive to her power.

"Let go of Mai Zhuo!"

On the other side, Weiss flew straight towards them.

Everything along the way—whether it was aircraft carrier wreckage or fighters—was violently smashed away by her, and she clenched her fist and blasted it at Iori Yagami, who was holding onto her companion.

Faced with her immense strength, dodging and counterattacking would have been the best strategy; however, the berserk Iori Yagami simply turned around and grabbed, meeting attack with attack:

212 Style - Qin Yueyin
boom----------

The fists delivered equally powerful blows, which startled Viss. How could they be so strong?
No, it doesn't matter what it is anymore;

war!

Dark clouds rolled across the sky, and the destructive giant tornado was no longer hanging down.

The sea was churning and surging, but to the many fighters standing on the sea, this was nothing more than a 'small breeze and a small wave'.

The poor aircraft carrier was finally torn to pieces by numerous experts and was slowly sinking into the sea; those fighters and superhumans who were half-dead or directly killed were pulled out by others and placed on lifeboats, while those who were still capable of fighting naturally stood at sea to watch the battle.

After Goenitz committed suicide, everyone thought the battle would end soon.

With everyone's combined strength, dealing with the remaining two enemies was no problem at all: but unexpectedly, Iori Yagami suddenly went berserk, and his target was the other two members of the "Eight Orphans". The three of them fought wildly and recklessly, leaving the others to watch.

"What is this, infighting?"

"I don't know, but anyway, at least for now, all we need to do is deal with it."

Crazy Yagami!
Indeed, the battle quickly came to an end.

After going berserk, Iori Yagami, whose strength and speed increased dramatically, managed to suppress and even kill two members of the Eight Orochi Generals dressed as secretaries all by himself!

Many fighters frowned as they watched the man gripping the women's throats with one hand each, showing no tenderness or mercy.

On the one hand, most of the fighters in this world have relatively high moral standards;

On the other hand, this fighting power is just too formidable;

Mature and Vice, who had left them helpless, were killed just like that?
"Ah,"

Hongo Hime, who was closest to the battlefield, chuckled.

"What a pity, these two secretaries were deliberately trying to kill themselves."

Otherwise, with their strength, they could have run away even if they couldn't win. However, instead of retreating, the two fought a strategy of trading blows, because they had no intention of surviving at all.

Two more forces merged into the world of this battlefield.

Sacrifice blood to our god?

"Huff, huff, huff"

Beside Hongo Himeko was Iori Kazuka, kneeling on the sea surface, panting heavily.

"Chairman Hongo, I've calmed down."

"Oh, I see. Sorry~~"

Releasing her grip on Ichika's neck, Hime's gaze fell on Iori Yagami, who was carrying two corpses in each hand, and she was about to step forward.

The next second, she stopped walking.

"Is someone coming again?"

Iori Kazuka, who had stood up, turned her head. In her berserk state, she fought with increasing ferocity. After losing her opponent, she even began to attack other superhumans. She was captured by Hongo Himeko, but now she has finally suppressed the 'Orochi power' within her. In a sense, she can also be considered a member of the 'Eight Heroes'.

Naturally, she was also very sensitive to those who possessed the 'power of the Great Serpent': in the direction she turned her head to look, three figures tore through the sea and shot towards her.

Rumble, rumble, rumble! ! !
? ?
Such a ferocious display caused the remaining fighters to turn their heads away.

No way, could there be enemies?

However, what shocked them even more was not them, but the people who came.

"Mature, Weiss?"

Yashiro Nanakase, arriving with a rolling shockwave and 'stopping' a straight trajectory on the sea, turned pale as he looked at the two corpses that Iori Yagami was carrying.

Damn Goenitz!!
Not only did they not notify them, but they also caused the deaths of Mature and Vice.

Although Yashiro could understand all of this, he still couldn't help feeling angry: if the 'Eight Orochi Warriors' were all gathered together, they could easily conquer the world.

Why.
"Wow, it seems we've arrived just in time."

Young Chris wore an innocent smile, but his words were cold and chilling.

"Great! The members of the Three Sacred Treasures families are all here; if we defeat them, we can resurrect our god—"

Come again?

The fighters, already exhausted from their injuries, couldn't help but feel weak all over.
